natural gas drilling mud system

Natural gas is a naturally occurring gas mixture consisting primarily of methane, typically with 0–20% higher hydrocarbons. It is found associated with other hydrocarbon fuel, in coal beds, as methane clathrates, and is an important fuel source and a major feedstock for fertilizers.

Hydraulic fracturing, or fracking, uses huge volumes of water, chemicals and sand injected into rock at high pressure to release natural gas. Its development has unleashed a natural gas boom in the US and around the world. US has developed such method to drill for natural gas.

GN solids control provide mud cleaning system for directional drilling and fracking for natural gas, we are thinking to design such mud system for US market. All the electric motors and control panels will use IECex certified or US motors.

To design a system, we need to clarify the following questions:

1 What kind of drilling you are doing？

2 What is your required active capacity of the mud pits？

3 What equipments you used before?　If you have no experience, we will provide our standard design.

4 What is the mud circulation capacity you required?

5 What is the max particle size of solids you want to separate?

If you are doing natural gas drilling and looking for a mud circulation system, pls contact GN solids control for more info.

Application of mud cooling system

Scomi Oiltools Mud Cooling System

• Oil, Gas, Geothermal Drilling - cooling drilling fluids
• Oil and Gas Refineries – gas cooling/condensing
• Petro-Chemical – steam condensing
• Power Generation – fluid cooling
• Steel – waste water cooling

In Oil, Gas, Geothermal Drilling ,the Mud Cooling system is used to reduce the temperature of drilling fluid returned to the surface.

In HT / HP wells the temperature of the drilling fluid must be strictly controlled to keep it’s properties within the specified parameters for that particular well. If the temperature of the drilling fluid is allowed to increase then a variety of problems can occur such as high equivalent circulating density (ECD), formation breakdown, lost circulation, packing off, stuck pipe and evaporation of the oil and water phase.

Why use mud cooler?

1 crew safety

2 Reduction of mud temperature in return lines especially important in Oil based systems to be maintained below flash point.

3 reduction of mud temperature reduces the risk of fire, blowouts, and helps provide safer drilling operation/ environment.

Benefits to well, drilling fluids, downhole equipment

1 reduction of temperature while circulating and drilling helps to maintain rheological properties of the mud and a reduction in the used of additives

2 increased wellbore stability, reduction of corrosion of the drill pipe and downhole tools, therefore a reduction of metal debris in the fluid.

3 less impact on the performance of downhole motors, especially important when drilling near the reservoir in HP/HT wells.

4 Increased transportation of drilling cuttings back to the surface.

If you are good manufacturer of mud cooling system in China, similar with Scomi Oiltools Mud Cooling System, pls contact GN solids control for cooperation.

As we all know the quality and charactor of the drilling fluid effects the drilling works. The viscosity, density, fluid loss control, sand content, gel strength, and so on. The drilling fluid system is used to control them.
If not use the drilling fluid system correctly, effiently, there must be some trouble. High fluid density causes pressure in the formation of the borehole. This pressure drives the drilling fluid through the filter cake into the formation, leads to excessive drilling fluid loss to the formation, and extends well development time required to remove the mud from the formation. As the fluid density increases, the pressure required to move the fluid up the borehole also increases, leading to high mud pump pressure requirements.

High solids or sand content also leads to significant abrasion in the drill tooling as the fine particles are recirculating through the mud pump and drill string. Washed out drill strings and mud pump valves/seats, along with leaking swivel packing, are caused by the recirculation of sand through the system. If the gravel pack is emplaced in the annulus through drilling fluid with a high sand content, the fines will be entrained in the gravel pack leading to increased well development costs and reduced well yields.

GN Solids Control can supply high qality products, effeciently control the all factors for drilling fluid system, to keep the drilling work operating efficiently.

Solids Control Equipment

Components of  Drilling Mud Conditioning System

Though mud conditioning system theortically including well control lines, solids control systems, fluids treatment equipments and fluids transfer equipment etc., the main components is degasser, shale shaker, jet mud mixer, mud tank, sand pump, and other spare parts.

• Degasser

ZYQ series Mud gas separator(Poor Boy Degasser) is professional equipment to treat the gas invade mud. When the drilling mud result gas invade, the proportion of its weight and viscosity have a greater deviation not to meet the requirements of drilling.

• Shale Shaker

Shale shaker is first phase solids control equipment in drilling fluids processing system, also known as key solids control equipment in drilling mud system, shale shaker decides performance of the whole solids control system.

• Jet Mud Mixer

SLH series Jet Mud mixer is special equipment to prepare and increase the drilling fluids weight by adding and mixing  bentonite, change the fluid density, change the mud density, viscosity, and dehydration. The effect is more prominent matching with Shear Pump.

• Mud Tank

Type FG and ZG Mud Tank designed and manufactured by our company is devided into Square tank and Cone-shaped tank according to the shape of tank bottom. The body of the tank is made of welding the steel plate and section, using the flat cone-shape structure or the corrugated structure. The mud tank surface and the passage are made of the slipping resistant steel plate and linearity netted steel plate which is produced by the professional factory, the mud tanks are made of the side steel pipe, all of the structure can be folded without barrier and pegged reliably.

• Sand Pump

Sand pump is the major centrifugal pump in drilling. SB series Sand Pump is the ideal equipment to provide impetus for Desander 、Desilter  and Jet Mud Mixer. It can also be used as Charge Pump auxiliary perfusion for mud pump and Trip Pump for drilling well head. Sand pump is also called centrifugal pump.

• Other Spare Parts

Ancillary items such as walkways, handrails, stairs, work and office spaces and any other items required
